About This Item
North Point Press, 1997. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Signed on the title page by Buckles. Uncommon signed. As the jacket says: "Twenty-four million people live within one hundred miles of Long Island Sound [in 1997] . . . Yet the land, sky, and intertidal areas that Mary Parker Buckles explores . . . have remained virtually uncelebrated until now." See the New York Times review. Buckles had written several guidebooks to animals, but this is her first and primary work for a lay audience in the tradition of other tidal explorers like Rachel Carson. Fine in a fine price-clipped jacket.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
